Research Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Politics -
International Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 76%,
University of Cape Town, course: International Relations Honours,
language: English, abstract: The end of the Cold War, some have
argued,1 has dealt the three worlds classification scheme a fatal
blow and the break-up of the former Soviet Union and the associated
disintegration of the Second World has to a large extent diminished
the rationale which underlay the concept of the Third World.2
Furthermore, from its heyday in the 1970s, Third Worldism has been
on a path of terminal decline due to a number of factors, such as
disproportionate economic development among Third Worldist states,3
political differences and the failure to establish a "common
programme for international economic and political reform."4 Within
the literature relating to Third Worldism, the concept of the Third
World itself, and the three worlds scheme, there is a lively debate
with some arguing that the concept has become an anachronism,5
others maintaining that the concept maintains significance in the
contemporary era. Furthermore, while there is general consensus
within the literature that Third Worldism has experienced a
declining trend, some argue that there is both the need and space
for a revival of Third Worldism.6 == 1 Arif Dirlik, "Spectres of
